Its happened ! Our new class for our youngest riders started today. Maddie has joined this class from Lesson 3 - as she much less tired earlier in the day. Chloe joined us for the first time. Bethany and Mollie will join the class in the next few weeks.

We were also pleased to welcome Alison from WSCC. She works with LNCC providing advice and guidance regarding transferring and moving people so that is safe for all concerned. LNCC are working to update their risk assessment accordingly. We are working with LNC to make sure that we are all aligned.

Lesson 0 : Our new class. Maddie rode Tatty and Chloe rode Bertie. Maddie enjoyed the lesson as she was much less tired. Chlow liked Bertie. The aim of the lesson was to faniliarise new riders with riding. Maddie and Chloe played mounted games. They tidied the school - moving hoops and ducks and bean bags from one place to another.

Lesson 1 : Fiona rode Harold, Bradley rode Zebedee and Daisy rode Shamus. A new pony Charlie joined the lesson today - and Ethan rode Charlie. The lesson was in walk and trot The aim of the lesson was to ride accurately and to have a forward going pony.

Lesson 2 : Courtney rode Rupert, Lucy rode Joey, Courtney 2 rode George and Abby rode Zebedee. It was the first time that Lucy rode Joey. Lucy spent time getting to know Joey - and understanding how he is different from Ivan. The aim of the ride was to be accurate in steering, stopping and walking on.

Lesson 3 : Orla rode Harvey, Tabitha rode Sultan, Noah rode Bertie and Cody rode Bally. This was the first time Tabitha has ridden Sultan in the indoor school for a lesson. She rode him very nicely - he is bigger than the ponies that she has ridden previously. Orla used her voice to tell Harvey - and her helpers - what to do. Cody worked hard steering and controlling Bally. Noah enjoyed riding Bertie..
